Hey, remember how great Spider-Verse was? It might take a minute or two for you to remember just how great, because quite a lot has happened since it hit theaters back in the far-off year of 2018 — how young we all were back then — but we can assure you that, yes, it is as good as you remember it being. We can remember folks hoping and praying that the studios would learn a lesson from all this and just make interesting — and fun! — cartoon superhero movies to contrast with their more serious-minded live-action output, which was a nice dream. But we’ve all been rudely awakened from our collective slumber thanks to the trailer for DC League of Super-Pets, which finally dropped online on Wednesday after showing in front of Ghostbusters 4 this past weekend. Why are we frustrated, you might ask? Well, because we should have known that the studios would go the Illumination route and try to find their next Secret Life of Pets, but this time with The Rock and Kevin Hart. Fun!
Peep it:
Here’s a synopsis:
“In ‘DC League of Super-Pets,’ Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime in Metropolis side by side. When Superman and the rest of the Justice League are kidnapped, Krypto must convince a rag-tag shelter pack — Ace the hound, PB the potbellied pig, Merton the turtle and Chip the squirrel — to master their own newfound powers and help him rescue the superheroes.”
DC League of Super-Pets arrives on the big screen on May 20. How long do you think it’ll take Marvel to green light a Pet Avengers series or something after this? We’re not kidding, by the way, Pet Avengers is a real thing, and with Howard the Duck and Frog Thor already technically being in the MCU, we’re pretty sure it’s only a matter of time before it comes to your Disney+ homepage.
